My friend Michael McDermott runs the largest foreign film production operation in Beijing, Gung Ho Films, and he sent me this photo that he took on August 1st in Beijing.

But I am reminded of what it could have looked like in this photo that James Fallows sent me last year and which I posted on July 27, 2007.
